There are 4 love interest for you to choose from, 2 males and females each with their own past and secrets for you to learn!

(Note: The RO's are not final. I might add more in the near future and that no romance is not a option. Also, I want this novel open as much as possible not restricting itself to the medieval time era or any kind of era. For example, I might put modern music in the novel.)

Demo: Prologue To Chapter 5, Discord

Introduction:

"Another one bite the dust" a voice says sorrowful, peering through a mirror and seeing a image of people gathering around a mangled body.

The person waves their hand in the air and the mirror disappeared, leaving them alone to their thoughts.

"Looks likes I need to prepare for the ritual for this one!" they sigh and head aching due to thinking the preparation that must be done.

Still contemplating, they heard their door slammed wide open and a figure barging into their quarters.

"LUCIAN!" they scold the person for being disrespectful and disturbing their peace.

Lucian dismissed the rebuke with a wave of his hand.

"Yes, I know Lucille and I apologize but I want to be sure." he says in a somber tone and a sad look on his eyes.

Lucille looked at his brother with a puzzling look; "Sure of what?" she ask herself in her mind.

She and his brother are Gods and they can sense if a life is snuffed out on Earth.

Due to her being the Goddess Of Life and his brother ,God Of Fertility.

Up to this day she still doesn't know why the roles are swapped, is it the job of the woman to oversee which will be fertile?

But nevertheless the two of them do their job with upmost devotion.

"What do you mean? My Brother?" she looked at him with calculating eyes.

Still waiting for a reply, she was shocked to see that her brother burst to tears.

"MY FAVORITE AUTHOR DIED!!" he screamed at the top of his lungs and eyes flooding with tears.

Lucille mouth gone slack and can't help but face palm.

"Oh brother!" she exclaims in slight annoyance and with a roll with her eyes.

Romance Options:

"Clara Dacre, The Royal Princess"

"You think being royalty is a boon?

Physical Appearance:

In the kingdom, there is no one quite like the Royal Heir to the throne, Clara. She is the eldest of her brothers and the one who will one day rule the kingdom. At first glance, she appears a little shy, but once you get on her good side, the two of you can talk for hours with tea, of course! However, something is amiss - did you just watch her behead an enemy? It seems the gods have done her dirty by changing her sweet and kind attitude into something feisty and ferocious.

Don't mistake her gentleness for weakness, as Clara is a fearsome warrior on the battlefield. Her parents made sure she can protect herself from any possible threats that may come her way. She is a courageous and fearless fighter who is unafraid of dying on the battlefield. Clara sees her royalty as only a restriction to her passions and hobbies, much preferring to solve problems with her own hands than waste her life sitting on the throne all day. She makes sure the safety of her future kingdom is protected, and she will dispose of anyone who dares harm it.

However, as a princess, Clara doesn't act like one. She is the epitome of scandalous and flirtatious behavior, with no regard for royal ethics. She is the renowned prankster of the kingdom, always looking for ways to stir up trouble. But beneath that mischievous exterior lies a woman who is passionate and full of life. She is not shy or demure, but bold and outspoken. She does not care about etiquette or manners, but only about having fun and living life to the fullest. She is not afraid to express her desires or pursue her passions, whether it is a hobby or a lover.

Can your love prevail through the complicated politics of royal courtship, or will you drown under the sea of bodies seeking the favor of being the consort of the princess? Clara's personality is complex, yet intriguing. She is not one to be tamed or molded into what society expects of her.

Can you be the one who can keep up with her wild and adventurous spirit? The one who can match her wit and charm? The only one who can make her laugh, blush, and moan? But can you also win her heart and make her yours? Can you handle the challenges and dangers of being with the Royal Heir, who has many enemies and admirers? Can you prove yourself worthy of her love and trust?

"Clara is a character that will surprise you, delight you, and seduce you with her unpredictable personality. She will make you feel alive, excited, and passionate with her fiery attitude and playful nature. She will make you want more of her, more of her kisses, more of her touch, more of her love. Will you be able to tame the warrior princess who defies all conventions? Or will you be just another victim of her mischief?"

"Lucas Pierce, The Royal Bodyguard Of The Princess"

Physical Appearance:

"Everyone and everything is an enemy, until proven not, by me!"

In the world of Rumblr, there is no character quite as angsty and cruel as Lucas, yet he remains the most beloved and sought-after character by followers. Tasked with guaranteeing the safety of the princess, Lucas has a gaze that could pierce through steel, and a deathly aura that surrounds him at all times. He is always on edge, and his aloof nature means he doesn't care about your position or status. To him, if he sees you as a threat, he will not hesitate to take you down, even if you are the most reputable person in the kingdom.

Don't believe me? Even the closest friends of the princess and his own comrades must pass his inspection and interrogation before they can get an audience with her. Lucas is devoted, thorough, and quick to act, precise and deadly in the ways of the sword. But behind that tough exterior, you sense a loneliness that only the princess can assuage.

Can you convince him that there is more to life than his job? That there is love to be found in the world, and that he is worthy of it? Lucas is cold and aloof, not interested in making friends or finding lovers, as he is entirely focused on his role as the Royal Protector. But as you spend more time with him, you notice something different about him - a vulnerability that he keeps hidden from the world.

Will you melt his frozen heart and show him the warmth of life? Will you be the only one who can see past his cold and aloof demeanor and discover his vulnerable side? The only one who can make him smile, laugh, and feel? Can you break through his walls and reach his soul? Can you make him realize that there is more to life than his job, and that he deserves to be loved? Or will he push you away and keep you at a distance?

"Lucas is a character that will captivate you with his intensity and intrigue you with his mystery. He will challenge you, thrill you, and even hurt you. He will make you feel things you never felt before, and he will make you want more. Will you be able to win his heart and make him yours? Or will you be just another obstacle in his path?"

"Lucian, The God Of Fertility"[M]

Physical Appearance:

"I love your story so much and it's one of my dreams to be a part of it!"

In the realm of the gods, there is one who stands out among the rest - the God of Fertility, Lucian. But the question remains, why is a man in charge of such an important department? It's not often you see men in this role, but Lucian doesn't seem to mind. In fact, he loves his job and performs it with enthusiasm.

He is the one who blesses the land with abundance, the animals with offspring, and the people with children. He is the one who makes the world a more beautiful and joyful place. But he is also a man who loves to have fun and enjoy himself. He is a fanboy and a friend.

Lucian is not your typical god. He does not act like a solemn and serious deity, but like a cheerful and playful child. He is always smiling, laughing, and joking around, making everyone around him feel at ease. He does not care about status or rank, but only about happiness and friendship. He is friendly to everyone he meets, and he treats them with kindness and respect.

But Lucian’s favorite person in the world is you - the MC, his beloved author. He is your biggest fan, your most loyal supporter, and your most devoted admirer. He reads every word you write, he leaves likes and comments on every post, he sends you gifts and messages of encouragement. He loves your stories, your characters, your imagination.

When you die, Lucian is heartbroken. He mourns your loss, he misses your presence, he longs for your return. But when you are reincarnated and come back to life, Lucian is overjoyed. He rejoices in your resurrection, he celebrates your comeback, he welcomes you with open arms.

Lucian’s love for you is pure, sincere, and unconditional. He will always be there for you, to support you, to protect you, to cheer you up. He will always be faithful to you, to respect you, to admire you, to cherish you.

Lucian's goodwill, childish antics, and friendly nature make it easy to trust him. But could there be something more to his affable demeanor? Is there a hidden agenda behind his loyalty to the MC? Only time will tell.

Can you reciprocate his feelings? Can you see him as more than a fanboy or a friend? Can you accept him as a lover or a partner? Lucian’s story is one that will make you laugh, cry, and swoon. He will charm you with his humor and personality, he will impress you with his skills and abilities(Don't depend on his God-Powers).

"As you read through Lucian's story, you'll find yourself falling in love with his character. His loyalty and protectiveness of his favorite author will make your heart swell with emotion. You'll be drawn to his carefree nature, and his playful banter will leave you laughing out loud. But beneath that bubbly exterior lies a god who is powerful, competent, and fiercely protective of those he loves."

"Songixoninne(Variel), The Raging Inferno"[F]

Physical Appearance:

Left: This is her human looks without the draconic traits.

Right: Just a interpretation on how she will look like if I managed to add her dragon traits.

The tattoos, scales and sharp fingers, the red slits for eyes, etc.

"Humans are so small and fragile beings, how quaint!"

You have faced many dangers in your life, but none compare to Variel. She is the dragon who has brought ruin and misery to countless worlds, earning the ire of gods and men alike. Her soul has been chained to yours as a curse, forcing you to share a destiny with the most wicked being in existence.

But when you finally confront her, you realize she is more than just a monster. She is a dragoness with a name that sounds like a hex, and her savage and rude attitude makes her a pain to deal with. She is a sadist and dominatrix who delights in tormenting you, a tyrant who dominates you with her power, and a mocker who ridicules you at every opportunity.

Yet, despite her evil, you find yourself drawn to Variel. She is clever and witty, making you chuckle or cry with her sarcasm and dark humor. She is fierce and proud, showing off her skills in magnificent and flashy feats of magic. She is blunt and honest, telling you what she thinks without holding back or lying.

And as you journey with her, you begin to see hints of something else. A softness hidden under her hard shell, a warmth buried under her cold words, a yearning concealed under her fierce gaze. Could it be that she is falling for you? Or is it just another scheme to satisfy her twisted urges?

You can’t help but feel attracted to this dragoness, even with all her faults. She is like a magnet, pulling you closer to her with her charisma and intensity. But can you handle the taunts and insults that come with being near her? Will you challenge her, sparking her fury further? Or will you embrace her, falling for the dragoness who was once your foe but is now your companion?

"Variel’s story is one of a world of pain and adventure, and you won’t be able to resist discovering it. Her complex personality, combined with her sadistic and domineering nature, will thrill you or break you. You’ll find yourself captivated by her, despite her alluring personality, and you’ll want to know more about this dragoness who has gone from being an antagonist to being an ally. Can you survive or will you go down in flames screaming and Variel laughing and relishing in your suffering?"

✦ | To light the darkest of paths.

Three generations.

That's how long it's been since this kingdom was conquered. In a time of great upset, the First Queen led a rebellion against reviled rulers and oppressive laws. Waging war with unmatched cunning, she rallied many powerful soul mages, known as angels, to the cause. From that conflict, the kingdom of Calcherth was born, built on the bones of the old empire. The First Queen ruled with great compassion and wit, but not all sins are forgiven with time. For the deaths she had caused during the war, the First Queen was murdered by the very people she had endeavored to lead.

The loss of its ruler did not spell the end of Calcherth, however. The coup was quickly suppressed, and the First Queen's son took the throne in her place. Now, many years later, the scars on Calcherth's short history have faded, and advances in soul magic improve lives for many within its borders. However, those same advances are viewed as a threat by Calcherth's neighboring kingdom, and many fear war is on the horizon once more. To make matters even more dire, the Second King has suddenly passed away, leaving his youngest son to succeed the throne long before he is old enough.

The effects of these events are so far-reaching, than even you are beginning to feel them, far to the southwest in the remote town of Lest. You are the child of a retired knight of the kingdom, who traded in his sword for the deed to Lest's tavern. The Fool's March, your father has named it, and the humble, but beloved tavern has been the center point of your entire life. But now, with rumblings of war, your father plans to pick up a blade once again, heading to the capital to enlist and leaving you behind in your childhood home. With him no longer by your side, what will you do when a threat to the entire kingdom comes for you? What will you do when you find out you may be a soul mage, yourself?

Those Long Dead is rated 18+ for depictions of swearing, sexual themes, violence, and death. More warnings may be added as development goes on.

Features:

Medieval Fantasy setting with angelic imagery and themes, and a focus on romance.

Adult characters, with the main cast being mid twenties to early thirties.

Customizable MC. Select your first name, last name, pronouns, appearance, orientation and manifestation of powers.

Five romance options of varying gender and personality, who you can interact with as you choose.

More to come as development continues!

Romance Options:

Kaine Breckem (he/him) - The blacksmith's former apprentice, who your father took in and hired at the tavern a few years ago. A kind, but mischievous individual, Kaine cares about others a great deal, but that doesn't stop him from being full of snark. Kaine can be your closest childhood friend, or someone you unfortunately work with; the choice is yours to make. Regardless, he's rather protective of you... but who will protect him when he needs it?

Vermillion "Millie" Lousat (she/her) - A descendant of a noble family, Millie has extensive education and combat training... and is also quite the social butterfly. It doesn't matter if it's the docks or the Gilded District, if you want connections somewhere, Millie has them. She wears her heart on her sleeve and doesn't care about the consequences. Maybe you'll catch her eye, somewhere amidst the mass of other's trying for her affections?

Leon Calcherth (he/him) - Technically a prince, Leon is the standoffish older brother of the Young King, Caleb, but is no longer considered to be in line for the throne. He greatly regrets the situation this has put his younger brother in, as they're very close. Leon is not easy to get close to because of the way he acts, but maybe the prickly prince has a softer side underneath the thorns?

Milo Lance (they/them) - The commander of the Order of Light, and they absolutely live up to the position. Practically raised in Gilramore's guard barracks, Milo's personality tends to come across as stiff and business-like, but in actuality they simply enjoy being effective and to the point. A truly gentle soul in a warrior's suit of armor, if you can persuade them to let down their guard.

Clementene Fairwreight (she/her) - Celementene is a talented soul mage for the Order, but she is a researcher at her heart; field work isn't particularly for her. A slightly nervous disposition and bad eyesight really only add to her penchant to stay within Gilramore's white stone walls. Her surprisingly daring experiments with magic captivate most of her attention, but maybe she'll find something in you that can capture her focus as well?
